At the suggestion of a post here, I picked up a Russian Makarov. I got a great deal, it is in perfect condition, and my gun dealer says that aside from being a nice piece, they are very reliable. I took his suggestion and only looked at Russian or East German Maks. The 9x18 ammo is dirt cheap when I buy the FMJ for target shooting in bulk.

Good deal.
Remember, it's the NRA and the Second Amendment Foundation which stopped the firearms confiscations in New Orleans.
It won't be long before Wisconsin has a CCW law. That will leave only Nebraska, Illiniois and Kansas without a carry provision. Not that places like New York have a realistic law.

But again, I want a bigger gun. The .357 was too much so I sold it. Pitty, the .357 shoots .38's and .357's. My Dan Wesson has interchangable barrels, so I can configure it long or short.
Shoulda kept it and shot mostly .38's for practice and kept the magnum loads serious work.

Good choice, other alternatives include Suzuki's V-Strom family, Aprilia's ETV 1000 Caponord, Ducati's Multistrada family, and the Triumph Tiger (did I miss any?). All of these combine touring and off road capabilities, yet each one approaches the split in their personalities differently. Some are more oriented towards the touring half of the equation, and some more towards the dirt, but all can do the job in a pinch.

Smith and Wesson stock. SWB. Me too! After holding it and watching it bounce between $1.30 and $2 since the SMWS days, I'm so glad to see it finally take off the past few months....

I was trying to keep the choices from getting too exotic. Not every town has an Aprilia dealer, but BMW and Harley parts are easy to come by.

Heck, you could have fun with looters with one of these:
It makes it more sporting.

I agree, for that reason, the Suzukis are also a good choice. Lots of dealers, but I understand that the V-Strom is more suited to the touring end of the scale so anyone looking for something with better dirt capabilites might want to look elsewhere.

There are a number of stories about people who were able to 'escape' in a rather relaxed state of mind using their aircraft.
I saw a TV interview of an older couple enjoying the empty beaches at Galveston and were planning to leave a few hours later in their Beachcraft. Stress free.

"Have you looked at a Ruger P89? With the combat grips it is a very comfortable fit in my little hands and doesn't have much of a "kick" at all.AWB" I like the P89 too. I bought a 40 round clip for it though. I call the clip, my 'Rodney King' clip.

Ain't it great? They are a result, initially, of the troops selling off the armories in the post breakup period when they were not getting paid reliably. The one I did not pick up but should have is a Nagant revolver. Came with holster and lanyard. It has a cylinder that moves forward as you pull the trigger to seal with the barrel in order make the revolver silenceable and looks to be straight out of an old Red Army Over-the-Top poster from WWI or so. It was on sale hereabouts in mint condition for $95 in the 90s.

You can still get that revolver for about $100+, it qualifies for C&R, I have one, complete with holster, etc, but it is just a collector's piece.
The problem with that gun is the special ammo it requires. Folks who reload can use a more common cartridge, but the original Nagant ammo is unique - the bullet is recessed into the casing. You can get Russian yellow box "target" ammo for that, but it is too expensive for plinking.
What I would like is a TT-33.

Bingo! Nice anecdote.
The old saw is that a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged. I think the post-Katrina coverage created virtual muggings for a lot of liberals.
